New Years day was quietly observes
In Rock Island "A few made informal call
aud were made welcome. No receptions o
open houses were held. The good oh
custom of New Years calling is, year b
year. slipping away from US. A fe,
years ago from thirty to forty promineu
houses kept open house on New Year
day, and the day was given over to call
ing and receiving. But within the las
few years the custom has been gradual
dying out.
